Funny USPS stories

[TMF]

My understanding is almost 100% of USPS are former military. I was told don't even bother to apply unless you are.

Ha, well not at my post office. I have more than a dozen stories about these guys I can reference off hand. The carriers I've had the worst experience with, but the personnel you deal with at the actual post office haven't faired much better. Beyond the inability to accomplish their basic service, their attitude is always terrible. When I walk into the UPS store to ship something I'm always met with good customer service, or at worst decent customer service. Every time, EVERY TIME I've gone into my local post office to ship something they act like I'm just a huge inconvenience to them. In a real job they'd be fired. It's just like going into the DMV.

After they couldn't sort out the whereabouts of the first batch of reports, they couldn't stay mad at us over it. We sent them a duplicate batch of reports which arrived a couple of days after our official deadline.
 
In retrospect, the nicest thing they could have done was to NOT award us any more assignments.  The way the fee structure was set up we broke even on the various assignments, if we were lucky and everything went nearly perfectly (that didn't always happen though). Not the USPS's fault, it was the fault of the knuckleheads from our  company that negotiated the contract.

Thamks. I was just curious as to how the USPS resolved the situation for you.
